Select two or three areas of this topic you want to focus on in your research.
Write a preliminary thesis statement stating the ideas you are presenting in your paper. This may change as you do your research.
Go to the Gale databases. Use the Opposing Viewpoints database (password is astros21!) to find your information. Keep track of the articles you use. Be sure to copy the citation from the bottom of the article. Do NOT use a blog or Wikipedia for a source.
You need to find at least 5 articles for sources from the database (Gale or EBSCO).
If you want to use any other source, please contact your teacher for approval.
IF you cannot find enough information, you might need to revise your topic. Talk to your teacher for some help with this.
